~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The sum of two consecutive integers can not be even number  (as  118  in your post).

It is an  ODD  number,  ALWAYS.

Therefore,  the problem's formulation in your post is  FATALLY  WRONG.

It makes a statement,  which is  NEVER  true.


So,  REVISE  your post and your problem,  and re-post an updated version to the forum,  again.

Please do not post your update to me personally.
